Death Is Not A Choice

By David S. Roberts This is a difficult subject with emotions running very deep on both sides of the problem. Many fear to approach this subject with good reason, few want to take the remain that I will and do because of my own deep prosecutions about this topic. In preparation for this article, several sad truths came to light. First, there is a deadly contradiction at work in American society. Second, there is an underlying value being overlooked in American society. And third, there is a terrible apathy about this subject in united states society. You will not agree with every thing I write, and that's alright, I would simply ask that you simply listen and open the mind and your heart to the message. I.There is a lethal Contradiction at Work. We just about all saw the headlines. I do not think that there was one of all of us that wasn't shocked when we heard that Susan smith drove that car to the lake with her children inside. She killed them because, now as a newly separated mom, they had become bothersome, disposable because her dating life was suffering. The outrage of the country was immediate, phone callers to radio stations everywhere challenging that she be worked the same fate she gave her sons, trapped in a vehicle, at the bottom of a lake. Or what about Andrea Yates or Kasey Anthony what person with a quarter of a mind didn't scream out, 'God what's happening?' or even what about the case of the guy charged with vehicular homicide more than a few years ago because the pregnant woman he struck suffered a miscarriage The outcry is there, an infant is dead and the mother suffers a loss, and the community cries out to cease this kind of misfortune, but give that same man a license and a clinic and the baby he just killed becomes just another 'fetus'. And there's NO OUTCRY! What about the pregnant woman who was charged with, get this, 'reckless endangerment of LIFE' whenever she disregarded the judge's orders to quit using drugs and used again? What about the teenager who had been charged with felony child abandonment, when she left her newborn child in the garbage bin in an alley? We all think, how could a mother kill her own kid But given the right circumstances, not one of these crimes could be prosecuted because in some cases, the fetus is a baby, as well as in others it's just a mass of tissue. There is a deadly contradiction at work here. The debate for abortion used to center around whether the fetus was really a living human. But the pro-abortion folk lost that debate in every round, so the discussion has changed focus. Whether the fetus is human or not is no longer the issue. It's PROCHOICE! For the woman who wants the woman's unborn child, the man who kills the child, accidentally, is charged with murder. For the woman that doesn't want the child, she is charged $425 by a man who kills her child legally. For the Andrea Yates or Kasey Anthonys' of the world, they are considered monsters, for the lady emerging from the abortion center, she is a hero of liberal causes. There is also a deadly contradiction in the news media, (surprised?) we all heard about the Florida abortion

doctor who was gunned lower in his home, it was on 24/7 until the killer was caught and jailed. How many of us heard about the Pro-Choice advocate who stormed into a church service one sunday and gunned down the actual Pro-Life Minister? Where was that on the news? Or what about the woman who bled to death within hours of her abortion from the very clinic that the doctor who had been gunned down worked within. What about the woman who was fired from her job at US West for putting on a pro-life pin to operate Was there any protection of that? Outside of locally, absolutely no there was not. Did you hear any kind of news of the prayer group who were meeting outside an abortion clinic who were beaten by police as they lay on the ground? Or about the truck that deliberately and slowly ran over the pro-life activists, trying to deliver a woman to obtain an abortion? What about the complaints from abortion treatment centers to the billboards being erected near their places associated with business that show a picture of the murdered unborn child. Pro-Choice advocates call them "tacky, in poor taste, and offensive". Quite simply, as long as what we are doing in here is not visible towards the naked eye, then it's legal, protected and acceptable. But how care you show other people what we should do! Do any of these cases sound familiar to you, heard about them in the media? No, and you won't because as anyone with half the brain knows now-a-days, the media has an agenda all their own. But think of it, when it is option that determines whether a good action is murder or acceptable, then we have removed any standard of right and wrong. Choice doesn't make the determination of life vs. NOn-life, life is life regardless, the choice is in the taking of that life and that is not one that we have the right to make. This brings us to our second truth. II.There is definitely an Underlying Value being overlooked. Life is important to lord. From the life of the unborn baby to the life of the retiree, life is important to God. Psalm 139:13-15 "For you created my personal inmost being; you knit me together in my mom's womb. I praise a person because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your functions are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame wasn't hidden from you when I was made in the secret place." Jeremiah 1:4-5 "The word of the head of the family came to me saying, "prior to I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born we set you apart; i appointed you as a prophet to the nations." In reading these and other passages, we view that life is important to god, including the life of the unborn child, whom God knows, whom God forms, whom lord can set apart. But in this country, choice has become God. We are ignoring a typical God Himself set. Whenever we ignore the value of life in favor of choice, the choice then has to extend to the the children who're born, but who turn out to be hard to manage, to seniors parents who become not capable of fending for themselves, and to the actual handicapped who don't "bring about our society". And if you think that this sounds cruel, or farfetched, listen a moment. Within the Netherlands, where abortion is and has been socially appropriate for more years than it has been here, they passed a euthanasia law allowing individuals to kill themselves if they therefore wish. But today, in the

netherlands, doctors in emergency areas are given the option of whether to take the time and efforts trying to save a life, as a matter of truth they have issued little credit cards much like our organ donor cards that say essentially, "please don't let me die, attempt to save me." If an accident victim does not have that card, the doctors make which person's final determination whether they will live or pass away. And it was just ten years ago that they introduced a law that would allow parents of any child born sightless, deaf, retarded, or seriously handicapped to decide if that child should be allowed to live, or even left to starve to death alone in an remoteness ward. CHOICE HAS BECOME lord ! Now it's no longer an issue whether the life is human or otherwise, now it's a matter of a parents', a doctors', a stressed out adult child's word, and a life can be legally discarded as if it were trash. With respect for life is so scarce, no wonder we've got children killing kids just to observe what it would feel like. You might say, Dave, what about the arguments the pro-abortion people use? Is the unborn infant human? Well, the holy bible says so, and for me that is good enough. But for people who can't accept the actual Bible, what about Science? science says so too. Life is understood to be that which has ability to reproduce itself, and from the moment of conception, when each cell divides and reproduces, that's life. Some use the "it is my body" argument against closing abortion, when in actuality, it's not the woman's body. The child is in the woman's body, but is distinct and separate in the woman, often having a various blood type than the woman. This is not a procedure to remove the tumor, it is a violent behave of murder upon a good innocent human infant. However let's just say this isn't the case that the baby really is part of her entire body. We don't allow a woman to inject illegal drugs in to her body. We don't allow her to sell her body in prostitution, except within Vegas, so that shouldn't truly surprise anyone. So if we do not give a woman a right to complete these things, how can she demand the right to murder her unborn baby under the guise of "it is her body". It is a false debate entirely. But Dave, you might say, what about the children who are delivered handicapped. Wouldn't their "standard of living " mean anything to you? let me answer you this way, when the right of another person to live comes down to the judgment of the contribution to society, or even their comprehension as to the world around them, then all of us open the floodgates for increase moral disintegration. There are lots of healthy, sane people who just contribution to our society is within raising their children right, i would say that is a great factor to society. We would not have the inspirational stories of Helen Keller, Ray Charles, or any other handicapped individual who may not have contributed like Keller or Charles but perhaps they've value because life is important to God. And He values them. But let's use this same logic. Shouldn't we then because was done in the movie, Logan's Run, set an grow older limit up to which one might live? In the movie age was 30, now, composing as a 40 year old, i'd object to this policy, but let's imagine set it at sixty five. After all, they are done operating then, so therefore cannot lead any more to society. So all Senior Citizens upon reaching sixty five years of age will be humanely put to sleep, medical costs might plummet, Social Security could be saved, but

what with regard to and nursing homes would not be a necessity. Sound heartless? every day life is life, whether it is the unborn child, or the retiree. And a woman no more has the moral to the choice to end her unborn child's life than i must end hers, yours, or anyone else's. Is the unborn child a life? Consider these facts : The unborn child has a heartbeat by the 18th day. The unborn child's brain begins to function at 40 days. The unborn child breathes, moves and sleeps. The unborn child grows, hiccups, and sucks his usb. The unborn child is run on to correct defects which is how they learned that the actual unborn child feels pain. The unborn child is completely formed before the mother actually knows she is pregnant. The unborn child can endure outside the womb at twenty weeks and with current technologies improving, that number can get pushed back to 19,eighteen Abortions can be performed on these unborn children up to the moment of their birth. Most people do not realize of what happens in an abortion, and though not pleasant, the truth is you've been lied to as to the normalcy and ease of this procedure. Abortion is a violent, harmful procedure. I will not explain the methods used, I choose to not. What I will describe for you are the saddest cases, the actual babies who are not desired, but are too developed to be murdered without risk to the mother. They induce labor, and the child is left on it's own in a room separate from the viewing room at the hospital. They are allowed to starve in order to death, some who are as well developed are taken part way out of the womb while the 'doctor' strangles the life from the child, which upon passing away, is discarded in the garbage. III.There is a horrible Apathy poisoning our Culture. There is a terrible apathy poisoning our culture. We've got people heading all out for all causes. There's a car driving around Kissimmee with loads of bumper peel off stickers on the back, among them are, "Save the Whales", "save the Manatees", "Meat is Murder" and finally, "I vote Pro-Choice". In other words, save every thing but the humans! We have people devoting time and energy to causes like saving the whale stuck in the ice circulation, save the polar has from global warming, bring back the actual red M&M, however very few are even attempting to stop the murder of kids ! And the most tragic some of it all is that there is a terrible apathy among Christians in regards to this subject. We think that there's nothing that we can do because the problem is too big. But that's wrong, there's a lot we can perform. If you choose to picket an abortion clinic, that's legitimate, otherwise legal. If you choose to pray concerning the situation, that where our power comes from. Maybe you can support a pro-life organization monetarily, that's another choice. But the single most important thing you can do only takes a few moments of your time. And that is, you can vote Pro-Life. Disagree beside me if you wish, what issue is more essential than the life of an unborn child Security of our nation? how long do you think we will stay safe if we keep problem God by the murdering of the innocent? Romans 1:32 makes it clear that those who give approval to

sinners for committing sin, are simply as guilty as those committing the sin. So the next time you go to vote for the actual lesser of two evils, or for your union job and the candidate is for the actual murder of human babies, just imagine yourself with your fingers wrapped around the neck of a newborn, who came along along with just bad timing, since your vote for a pro-abortion prospect is exactly the same as approving, actually committing the act of abortion. When I saw my child born 9 weeks too early struggling to breathe, with wires coming out from all angles, I knew which no one would ever have the ability to tell me that abortion was a choice any longer. Her arms were almost as heavy as a crayola marker, your woman was almost six lbs, and she was the biggest infant in the neo-natal ICU. Other peoples' arms were thinner than the usual #2 pencil, tubes caught down their throats letting them breathe, I watched since the nurses pricked heels to attract blood and the expression about the faces of the infants within pain. I do not believe which anyone after seeing the size of a premature baby or one of those new 3D imaging sonograms, I do not believe that anyone seeing that can still be for abortion without surrendering their humanity in the process. The question is now what are you going to do about it, because passing away Is Not a Choice. Jeremiah 29
